Ambassador of the European Union (EU) to Bangladesh Michael Miller on Monday said the EU is the country’s most reliable and largest commercial partner, as well as a highly significant political ally for the new government. "We look forward to launching a new chapter with intensified relations with Bangladesh," he told reporters after their meetings with Foreign Minister Dr Khalilur Rahman and State Minister for Foreign Affairs Shama Obaed at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Responding to a question, Ambassador Miller said they are very near to finalising the Partnership Cooperation Agreement (PCA). He said they discussed the very broad nature of Bangladesh -EU relations – trade, development, humanitarian issues and migration. Ambassador Miller said they look forward to exploring the full potential of the EU-Bangladesh relations.
